"A fun adventure, every character was casted perfectly, you can see it when the gang is together, it feels like a group of friends. Now that it is in high def you can enjoy the small amount of special effects that Scooby-doo offers. Overall this is great family film for the growing high definition age."

Just saw the actual movie, not just a preview.

"We just got back from watching Scooby doo the movie with my 9 year old daughter. We loved it. Matthew Lilliard as Shaggy was simply fantastic. He was born to play that role. They could NOT have cast it better. Linda Cardellini as Velma was good too. She didn't say Jinkies as often as would have been liked, but there wasn't very many times when it was appropriate. Otherwise she was very good. I was glad to see Sarah Michelle Gellar, as Daphne, bring her role up to date. Daphne learned how to defend herself and still look good doing it. She was still Daphne though. Had luggage and a car that matched her outfit and everything. Freddie Prinze Jr, as Fred, could have been better. He didn't put himself into the role well enough at all. Other than wearing the clothes and having the hair, he just wasn't 'Fred'. But my nine year old didn't really seem to care. You don't see him as much as you see Shaggy and Scoody, they really carried the movie. So I don't count that against the movie as a whole. Scooby looked real enough. I mean, I could tell that he wasn't. But my nine year old didn't seem to. Scrappy Doo was in it too, which was a surprise. The movie also have a very surprising ending, that I won't give away. There was also some very awesome music. My daughter and I were dancing in our seats. We will definitely be buying the soundtrack to this one. There were lots of funny parts. My daughter was laughing out loud almost throughout the movie. The scary parts weren't too scary for her either. That was really a good thing, because my daughter is really easy to scare, she walked out of Cats and Dogs because it was too scary. But this movie scared just enough to get the point across and then stopped, or Scooby and shaggy would do something goofy and take some of the scare away. The movie even had some educational value on a personal level. The gang learned some things about each other and how to get along better with each other, and the importance of friendship. They learned that they really aren't that much different from each other, and they all just want to be liked and excepted, and Daphne and Velma learned that each wanted to be more like the other, Fred learned to think about others feelings. I think it's good for kids to see that they aren't the only ones who feel like they aren't understood, or that they aren't the only one who wishes they were like someone else. They might be surprised to see that someone wants to be like them. I will give a word of caution to parents of young children. There was one scene my husband felt was inappropriate, where Fred and Daphne trade bodies. Fred thinks it cool because, "Now I can look at 'myself' naked!" My nine year old understood he meant he could look at Daphne's body naked, but she didn't think anything of it, since he didn't mention touching anything. That was all that was said about it, and Daphne was not too happy about that. She hit him with her purse. But he didn't get the chance, cause they changed back almost immediately. Shaggy and Scooby had a burping and tooting contest that I'm sure some parents won't appreciate. But all the kids in the theater were laughing their heads off. It was done as good smelly fun. All in all it was a great movie. My daughter wants to go see it again, she gives it two thumbs up and 1000 stars. She already wants to buy it when it comes out on DVD too. Bottom line, if you like Scooby Doo cartoons even a little I think you will really like the movie. It was very funny, lighthearted fun. With awesome music. With some surprises, even adults won't guess who done it before the end of the movie."
